Infrascan
Automatic light switch
Anybody can turn it on
You’re never left in the dark with an Infrascan
The Clipsal Infrascan has set the standard in automatic light switching for many years and has become the Australian leader in its field. In fact the name Infrascan is now the generic term for all movement sensors!
Infrascan offers the dual benefits of safety and security. It provides a safe, welcoming light when family and friends come to your home, as well as deterring any intruders who venture onto your property.
The moment anyone enters the Infrascan’s detection field, the infrared sensor reacts to the body heat and turns on the light. This can be a fluorescent or an incandescent lighting load.
Infrascan still leads the way
The latest version of the Clipsal Infrascan continues to lead the way in reliability and innovative features.
Both the two wire (750WP) and the three wire (750WPR) versions have an IP66 rating, much higher than other similar products on the market, which means that they are completely dust and waterproof.
Cost savings
Infrascans at home, and in commercial and industrial situations, provide significant energy savings, as lights only switch on when someone enters the detection field. Therefore, lights in areas such as driveways, warehouses and carparks aren’t left on all night unnecessarily.
Wall or ceiling mounting
The Infrascan can be wall or ceiling mounted. By simply loosening the clamping nuts at each of the ball joints, the knuckle assembly can be rotated to suit the type of installation. Electrical connections are made via a flexible lead.

Infrascan 750WP and 750WPR
Features
Both Infrascan models have a sensitivity adjustment that lets you alter the detection field to a maximum radius. This adjustment, together with the time and light level adjustments are located on the base of the sensor head for easier access. A small screwdriver is supplied with each Infrascan so that you can easily make any adjustments.
A flexible two core lead (750WP) or the three core lead (750WPR) has been pre-wired to the sensor head, to ensure that the electronics enclosure is completely waterproof.
This feature also greatly reduces installation time and enables a variety of cabling termination methods to be used.
Each Infrascan also has the provision to mount two PAR 38 lampholders on the mounting plate.
Why nothing gets past an Infrascan
Both 750WP and 750WPR Infrascans have a detection field of up to 18 metres radius from the unit, covering 110. The flat multi-segmented lens divides the ‘field of view’ into 48 zones. These are located at 4 different levels, ensuring immediate reaction to body movement and reducing the number of ‘dead zones’ that can be penetrated.
The passive infrared detection circuit is very reliable and has a short settling time, while the light level circuit guarantees continuous light level adjustment from below 1 lux (almost complete darkness) to full sunlight.
Note 1: The 750WP derives its power through the load, therefore the load is never completely de-energised when off, as with switch contacts.
Note 2: This is a typical specification. There may be noticeable differences in the range due to differing conditions such as background temperature, speed of movement, types of clothing worn, etc.
